Previous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) in facilitating English learning. However, no empirical research has been conducted on secondary students’ intention to use ITSs in the language domain. This study proposes an extended technology acceptance model (TAM) to predict secondary students’ continuance intention to use and actual use of ITSs for English learning. The model included fifteen hypotheses that were tested with 528 senior secondary students in China. The results of structural equation modeling showed that (1) perceived usefulness and price value had direct positive impacts on continuance intention; (2) perceived ease of use was not directly associated with students’ intention but indirectly influenced intention via perceived usefulness; (3) through the mediation of perceptions, learning goal orientation and facilitating conditions were positively associated with continuance intention; (4) perceived enjoyment positively predicted and anxiety negatively predicted students’ intention to use ITSs; and (5) students’ continuance intention to use ITSs was significantly positively associated with their actual use of ITSs for English learning. The model showed strong explanatory power and might be implemented in future research. This study contributes to the theory and practice of ITSs in K-12 education.
